This study develops a web-based deep learning system for multi-crop disease detection, specifically including potato as one of its eight target crops. The research evaluates CNN architectures for identifying potato diseases from leaf images and integrates a Large Language Model to provide diagnostic information and treatment options.
This study investigates the impact of maturity on the volatile flavor profile of baked potatoes using HS-SPME-GC-MS and sensory evaluation. It identifies key pyrazine and aldehyde compounds as indicators of maturity and explores their interaction with human olfactory receptors through molecular docking.
This study describes the development of a novel fluorescent probe using silicon quantum dots (SiQDs) and Fe3+ for the sensitive detection of glyphosate pesticide residues. The method was successfully validated using potato samples, demonstrating its potential application in food safety and residue monitoring for potato crops.
This review examines the impact of mixed-pathogen infections on vegetatively propagated crops, including potatoes, focusing on how these interactions lead to seed degeneration and increased disease severity. It discusses host immune responses, molecular diagnostic advancements, and strategies for integrated management such as resistance breeding and clean seed systems.
This study provides a genomic characterization of lactic acid bacteria isolated from Tocosh, a traditional Peruvian fermented potato product. The research identifies specific bacterial species and their functional roles in starch degradation and safety, offering insights for the standardization and modern application of potato-based fermented foods.
This study describes the synthesis and evaluation of quercetin derivatives as antibacterial agents against Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. sepedonicus, the pathogen responsible for potato ring rot. The derivative 7-isopentenyloxy-4'-chloroflavonol showed significant protective and therapeutic activity in vivo by disrupting bacterial cell walls and membranes.
This study identifies the transcription factor E93 as a critical developmental regulator in the Colorado potato beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata), a major potato pest. The research demonstrates that RNAi-mediated knockdown of E93, including through treated potato plants, disrupts beetle development and reproduction, offering a potential target for genetic-based pest management.
This study uses integrated transcriptomic and metabolomic analysis to investigate how pulsed electric field (PEF) treatment induces a reactive oxygen species (ROS) burst in potatoes. The research identifies metabolic reprogramming in amino acid, carbohydrate, and lipid pathways, suggesting that PEF can be used to modulate flavor and antioxidant properties in potato products.
This study investigates how low-frequency magnetic fields enhance the non-covalent binding between potato protein and purple potato anthocyanins. The treatment improves the structural stability, emulsifying capacity, and antioxidant properties of the resulting complex, suggesting potential applications in functional food development.
This review examines the application of CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing in root and tuber crops, including potatoes, to enhance traits such as disease resistance, abiotic stress tolerance, and nutritional quality. It discusses technical challenges in plant transformation and regeneration, regulatory frameworks, and next-generation strategies for engineering complex traits in polyploid crops.
